kama unadhani mfumo wa five years plan wa Stalin uli-fail ningekushauri ukasome historia vizuri. I will assume that ulidhani ninazungumzia communism. Nadhani ni bora kwanza uelewe kuwa five year plans zilikuwa tofauti na communism. Communism was the background ideology, wakati zile five years plans ndo zilikuwa sera - economic policies.
Kwa nini zilikuwa successful: Russia iliweza ku-move kutoka nchi iliyokuwa imedorora kiuchumi (mainly a farming country) mpaka kufikia nchi yenye uwezo wa kupambana ki-vita na Ujerumani (iliyokuwa na the fastest growing economy in Europe then). Sitaki kukupa a history lesson, lakini all-in-all huu mfumo wao uliweza kuinyanyua Russia kwa haraka kupita mategemezi ya wengi. Kama umesoma historia unaweza kujua hii famous quote yake wakati anaongelea hili swala...(not quoting word to word). It goes like this: "We are 50 to 100 years behind the West. We need to make good this distance in 10 years. We either do it, or they will crush us." Nadhani na hii iko very applicable katika situation yetu.
The advantage to this pamoja na uwazi ni; unapoweka targets ambazo zipo wazi kwa kila mwananchi, basi inakuwa rahisi kufanya kazi pamoja katika kuzitimiza (serikali na wananchi lazima wafanye kazi pamoja). Sawa Stalin was a trayant, na aliua over 40mil Russians katika kutimiza targets zake, lakini that doesnt mean we need to go down the same line. We can find effective and efficient means za kuweza kuzifanyia kazi hizi targets.
Umesema nchi yeyote yenye longterm goals inakuwa na mfumo huu: Can you please provide FACTS. Nipe longterm goals za US or any other developed country in that matter. I WANT FACTS, sio uropokaji.
Culture na traditions zina-play part katika kujenga jamii iliyo tayari kupokea maendeleo. Thats my point. Marekani isingeweza kufika hapa, kama haikujengwa na Waingereza waliohamia huko ambao walikuwa na culture na traditions walizozitoa Uingereza. Culture yao unaweza kusema ni utawala bora, kufanya kazi kwa sifa (take pride in their work), elimu (maana vyuo kama cambridge na oxford vilikuwa vimeanzishwa), nk. Umenielewa? Hivi ni vitu vilivyo katika background. Vimejengeka katika misingi ya jamii. Wataalam wanaita commonly shared background values, cultures, traditions. Sasa wewe leo umwambie Mmasai, nataka kuendeleza kilimo, atakuelewa? Lakini katika society yao ya wamasai, wana a common shared tradition ya kufuga ng'ombe. Na wanawapa ng'ombe value zaidi ya mimi na wewe tunayoweza kuwapa. Ni kitu ambacho kinafanya kazi unconsciously. Sio unaweza kusema kuwa...kha...hichi hapa. Ndo maana narudia, kuwa na a longer history inakusaidia katika kujenga hili. Mfano mwingine mzuri China, Japan. So the longer your history is, the more thess common shared culture, value, tradition, are passed on and cemented in you. This is what we LACK kutokana na kuwa watu waliokusanywa chini ya bendera moja!
